Fuelled by long drives across desert landscapes taking in California, Nevada, and Texas, Bradford’s own Mookie + The Bab are an all-acoustic indie-folk group. Their acoustic guitar, mandolin, and fiddle layered vocals, with occasional trumpet, capture the sound of the American Southwest but remain true to British working class roots.
Moved by climate emergency, floods, fires, desertification, and exploring organic sounds with rousing harmonies, multi-instrumentalists Abi Otway, Marc Otway and Conor Magi’s Americana-Yorkshire folk blend is steeped in nature, emerging from their unique bond after many years making music together and travels playing festivals internationally and across the UK.
